On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

(Thanks to Mianmian Marshmallow for voting for 3 monthly tickets.)
As human beings, living in this world, it is naturally impossible for everything to go smoothly for us. But on some matters, what's wrong with not taking drastic measures and making a few compromises?

Just go on with your life.

Of course, if you really encounter something that touches your bottom line and your own interests, you must never compromise and just draw your sword and do it!

After chatting with Li's mother for a long time, Li Shiyue fell asleep cursing his scumbag father.

The next day, the weather was not good and the wind was not strong, but the temperature dropped a lot again.

Li Shiyue was standing in the stable feeding the horses with a handful of roasted beans. Soon, snowflakes began to float down from the sky.

Li Shiyue gave all the beans in her hand to the horse. She walked out of the stable and came to the middle of the yard. She looked up at the gray sky and stretched out her hand to catch the snowflakes.

Li Shiyue put down his hands and shouted to Shitou who was still chopping wood in the yard: "Brother, stop chopping. It's snowing. What you have chopped will be enough for a few days."

While the two were talking, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open and Li Wangming came back with a lot of things in his arms.

Li Shiyue took a few steps forward and took a bundle from Li Wangming's hand. The bundle was not light. Li Shiyue looked at the things in Li Wangming's hand again. The basket on his arm was filled with incense, candles and yellow paper.

Li Wangming felt a little embarrassed at this moment, but thinking about what Li Shiyue said last night, he explained to Li Shiyue: "I went to Qin Tao's house and asked for my brother's clothes.

"These," Li Wangming raised his arm to raise the basket, "were bought with money from Aunt Lanhua's house.

There was some left over from his family's use, so I bought them all.

October, you

Li Shiyue nodded and turned to go into the main room. "Second Uncle, come in quickly. It's snowing and it's cold outside. You have to take care of your body."

After entering the house and putting down his things, Li Shiyue looked at Li Wangming and asked, "Second Uncle, have you found a good place? Where should I buy the coffin? Have you asked Mr. Liu?"

Seeing that Li Shiyue was the same as usual, Li Wangming finally felt relieved.

"The location is easy to find. It's facing the riverbank and not far from the place chosen by Brother Shiyang. It's a little higher up. I think it's also a good place. It will be used as the cemetery for my branch in the future."

Li Shiyue nodded, "If my second uncle says it's good, then it must be good."

"However," Li Shiyue looked up at Li Wangming, and heard Li Wangming look at him with embarrassment and say, "Old Master Liu said that there is a family named Tian in Sunjia Kiln at the east end of Qingsong Town. His family specializes in this business. He said that if I need it urgently, I can go to him and buy it ready-made."

"Is Second Uncle optimistic about the future?"

“It’s not a day to be anxious about, but Brother Shiyang has calculated that today and tomorrow are both good days for burial.

October, you see?

Although Li Shiyue was unwilling in her heart, she definitely did not show it on her face. She immediately said to Li Wangming, "Second Uncle, let's go now and come back before dark. We will build a tomb for Dad tomorrow."

It will definitely be a pain to go out on this day, but this face-saving job must be done, and it must be done beautifully!

Li Shiyue first asked Li Wangming to find the thick coat and put it on quickly, and then asked Li's mother to give Shitou more clothes. Naturally, this was a task that had to be done by the three of them.

Then she went out.

Yes, she has gone out, and you have done this, so of course you have to spread it out so that other people know about it, and you should not be too deliberate in the process of announcing it to others.

Li Shiyue took a few quick steps and knocked on the door of Li Wangshui's house.

During the day, the whole family was warming up in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, Li Wangshui pushed the door open and saw Li Shiyue standing in the snow. "Shiyue? What's wrong? What happened? Come in quickly. It's cold outside. Come in and warm up."

Li Shiyue naturally did not enter the house. She stood still and bowed to Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua who had already come out. She raised her head and asked with a little embarrassment: "Uncle, aunt, I won't go in. I'm in a hurry to go out.

I just came to tell you that I might not be back until dark if I go out.

If we are delayed on the road, we won't be back until night.

My brother, my second uncle and I are all going out, leaving my mother and aunt at home. If anything happens, please help take care of it."

"Oh my, it's going to snow heavily soon, Shiyue, what are you going out for?
Just wait until the weather is better before going.”

Li Shiyue lowered his head and whispered that Li Wangming was going to build a cenotaph for his scumbag father.

She deliberately lowered her voice with a nasal sound. Li Shiyue lowered her head as if choking and continued to speak to the two people: "No matter how sorry Daddy is to us, he is still our family after all. This is something we should do."

After getting positive answers from Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua, Li Shiyue went back home in the wind and snow.

After eating a big bowl of rice with finely shredded radish cut by Li's mother in the kitchen, Li Shiyue wrapped himself in thick clothes, pulled the horse that had been fed by Li Qiu out of the stable and harnessed it to the cart.

"Good fellow, I have to trouble you again."

Li Shiyue patted the horse's neck and said this in its ear.

The last time Li Shiyue escorted Li Shiyang and others back from Waiyi Village in Sanshan County, he knew that in such bad weather, if they wanted to go fast, they had to use horses. Donkeys and mules could not catch up with horses in speed.

Because Li Shiyue was light, Shitou rode on Li Qiutian's horse. Li Shiyue and Li Wangming shared one horse and pulled the cart out of Liujiatun.

It's really strange. Shitou is not smart in other aspects, but he can ride a horse, use a sword and use a stick without any guidance from others. He can do it just by feeling.

Li Shiyue felt that this was probably the reason why Shi Tou’s skills were different from those of ordinary people.

Li Shiyue and his companions made quite a noise when they left the village, and everyone they passed by opened their doors and came out to look.

Erdan's mother stood at the door and watched Li Shiyue and the others go away. She turned around and took Erdan to Zhou Lanhua's house, letting Erdan, Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang play on the kang. Erdan's mother then asked Zhou Lanhua and Li Shiyue why they had to go out in such weather.

Zhou Lanhua was just worrying about where to tell anyone about this, but when Erdan's mother asked her about it, she just opened her mouth and started talking.

While the two were talking, Gou Laosan also knocked on the door and came in. He didn't go into the house, but squatted on the ground in Li Wangshui's kitchen and talked to Li Wangshui.

After a while, Ma Zi and Mole, who lived a little further away, also came over in the wind and snow.

Before Li Shiyue came back, almost everyone in the Lijia Village knew that Li Shiyue, Shitou and Li Wangming had braved the snow to buy a coffin for their scumbag father.

Li Shiyang had just presided over the burial of relatives by the villagers in the morning and wanted to leave in the afternoon, but didn’t he encounter a snowstorm?
It was not safe for him to travel alone, so he stayed at home, thinking that if the wind and snow subsided tomorrow, he would ask someone to drive him back to Sanshan County.

At this moment he was sitting at the head of the kang, face to face with Li Youfu who was also sitting cross-legged on the kang.

Yu Zhenniang came into the room carrying a pot of hot water. After telling the two of them what had happened, she called Yueniang out of the room, leaving only Li Youfu and Li Shiyang in the room.

Li Youfu smacked his lips and reached into his waist out of habit, but found nothing. Then he remembered that his pipe was gone when he first started fleeing the famine.

Seeing Li Youfu like this, Li Shiyang said, "I will bring good tobacco to Grandpa next time I come back. The tobacco here should be no worse than that in my hometown."

Li Youfu nodded in agreement, and then said, "Shiyue is a filial girl, knowing that her last name is Li." (End of this chapter)
